Learn School Supplies Vocabulary in Spanish
I made this for my children to independently practice and learn Spanish vocabulary, sentences, and phrases related to school supplies. I hope this can help your family as well!
This is designed to introduce vocabulary as well as other aspects of the Spanish language through authentic videos and stories, then begin targeted practice of words, sentences, and phrases. Language acquisition will occur with repeated, everyday exposure and practice.
The work below is divided into sections. Have children complete everything in the section once a day for a week or longer (depending on age, ability, and how fast they learn). Allow the child to move on to the next section when they show understanding and proficiency. Children can also return to previous sections for review.
Optional: Grab some printables and activities with the same theme from my shop!
Note: You may encounter multiple words for the same thing.

Great job!
Come back and practice often so you don’t forget what you have learned!
Explore other Spanish themes: numbers, colors, clothing, or fruits and vegetables. New themes will be added, so check back often!
Another great way to be exposed to the language is to use vocabulary you are learning around the house. Exchange your English words for Spanish ones!
¡Buena Suerte!
